He ro
was wearin'
an old
'death on high'
t-shirt
with
soiled in the car
repair trenches
fatigues
He ro was
trying to prove
he was beyond
--n a t u r a l l a w s
none of which applied
to him
'cept
maybe Gods -- as
the only laws --
articles that applied
to him were
in the
police blotter
published in the
Star Tribune--
showin' arrest records
running roughly
3 weeks behind
the crime
...the next
offense waiting
to catch up
with the last
just like those
triple cuervos
skimmed with
lighter fluid
he was trying to
ignite with a
B.I.C --
an effort
doomed to
failure it seemed
but that didn't
stop he ro from
trying
nor did it
stop the
bartender from
feeding him
shooters
